Difference between setReadonly() and setDisabled() in Client Script.

[Shikha Kumari]

I have gone through many such articles stating the exact difference between the both functions , but hardly able to get the proper difference , please share some good idea which could clarify the concerns.

Hi Shikha,

• SetReadonly is used to make the field read-only if true. Makes the field editable if false.

• SetDisabled is used to make field gray out and unavailable.

• Note: Both setReadOnly and setReadonly are functional.

        Use UI Policy instead of this method.
